NAME
     od - octal dump

SYNOPSIS
     od [ -bcdosx ] [ file ] [ [ + ]offset[ . ][ b ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     od dumps file in one or more formats as selected by the
     first argument.  If the first argument is missing, -o is
     default.  The meanings of the format options are:

     -b                  Interpret bytes in octal.

     -c                  Interpret bytes in ASCII.  Certain non-
                         graphic characters appear as C escapes:
                         null=\0, backspace=\b, form-feed=\f,
                         new-line=\n, return=\r, tab=\t; others
                         appear as 3-digit octal numbers.

     -d                  Interpret words in unsigned decimal.

     -o                  Interpret words in octal.

     -s                  Interpret 16-bit words in signed
                         decimal.

     -x                  Interpret words in hex.

     The file argument specifies which file is to be dumped.  If
     no file argument is specified, the standard input is used.

     The offset argument specifies the offset in the file where
     dumping is to commence.  This argument is normally inter-
     preted as octal bytes.  If . is appended, the offset is
     interpreted in decimal.  If b is appended, the offset is
     interpreted in blocks of 512 bytes.  If the file argument is
     omitted, the offset argument must be preceded by +.

     Dumping continues until end-of-file.
